Looks like you're now only $125 away from hitting the Magic 100. Tony Coulter nailed 100% yesterday. Let's make it 2 for 2 on Give the Drummer Radio!!

Meowwwww! This raucous set should get people in a generous frame of mind

BDR, your comment reminds about one of the very best things about WFMU: It doesn't try to please everyone all the time. WFMU figures that listeners will appreciate a station that isn't afraid to be unappealing to some. Rather than insult listeners' intelligence by dumbing down everything, WFMU encourages people to TURN IT OFF if you don't like what you hear. Then come back later and see if you like it any better. I guarantee you that no other public broadcaster on the planet will take this approach.

Something well worth supporting, eh BDR?

The one supposedly found in Runaway Bay not long ago was on the golf course there...very close to my parent's house actually. Their house is on that golf course.

On a sports note, I trundled over to the Galleria here in downtown Dallas for lunch. They already have "World Champion Texas Rangers" painted on the ice rink in there. Talk about jumping the gun. http://www.galleriaiceskatingcenter.com/

i knew ernest had recorded a lot of stuff, but bear family has at least four or maybe five box sets, each with at least five discs. it's unbelievable the amount of material there is.

One hour left to pledge to WFMU in Amanda's honor. It's important to show WFMU and the world that Give the Drummer Radio can stand on it's own two legs and receive support during critical fund drives for the station. Other than occasional computer support from WFMU's full-time tech guru, Give the Drummer Radio is an entirely volunteer effort. YOUR SUPPORT endorses GTDR as a hybrid radio/stream experiment worth maintaining and expanding.

We create Give the Drummer Radio with open minds. You welcome it with open ears. We'll accept your contributions with open arms.

Holy canoli, only $30 away from the goal. Have you seen the brand-new WFMU t-shirt, offered especially for this Shock & Awetober, that you get with a $50 pledge? Pretty damn nifty.

Only $30 to go. Please come through for Amanda!
